Thanks for your reply. The US market is hungry for the best football/soccer. The fans come to realize quickly that the MLS is second tier and then they typically cast about to find clubs in Europe that are top tier. If Bloom has long term ambitions to “move up” - then smartly growing the fan...

Look at it this way- there will be around 50,000 at each match. At least half the fans don’t (yet) have a favorite club. From a marketing perspective, that is a great opportunity to grow. It’s similar to the NFL playing in London and Dublin. They don’t do it for the airline snacks- but to build...
